Behold The 2000bhp, 220mph Toyota 'Land Speed Cruiser'
Toyota is no stranger to the world of utterly bonkers SEMA concepts. After all, this is the company that stretched a Tundra at last year’s show to create a limo, and this year the manufacturer has delivered the goods once again.
It’s brought no less than six concepts, and the maddest of the sextet is easily the ‘Land Speed Cruiser’. To create it, Toyota took a Land Cruiser, heavily modified the chassis in some way (the only clue is the line about “getting the body back onto the heavily modified frame” in the press release), and added a pair of “volleyball-sized” Garrett turbochargers to the ‘3UR-FE’ 5.7-liter V8, fed by some beefy new air inlets at the front.
It’d be an understatement to label the results as ‘dramatic’ frankly, as it now develops in excess of 2000bhp. It’s apparently capable of 220mph too, which means it’s “set to become [the] world’s fastest SUV”. Sorry Bentley.
Growing up on a diet of World Rally Championship highlights and lengthy Gran Turismo 2 sessions, a life in cars was as good as inevitable for Matt.

The real question is Can it still tackle a greenlane?
Just another car Toyota built as a great concept car but will never really bring to production.
when you’re a petrolhead mum of two but you’re running late for the school run
That’s nothing compared to this solar powered land cruiser..
Sounds like the perfect engine for the new Supra.
This is stupid
